Wouldn't get too excited if your car has a warranty! Especially if its....................modified! I'm sure VX will have the gestapo out taking names and numbers, so next time you make a claim they can throw it back at you...'You were daring to use your performance Vauxhall at a performance event sir? Computer says no!'

Bitter, yes... Experience, yes...

In view of the Corsa engine problems I hear that VX is checking the map before entertaining a claim. "Sorry sir non standard map, thats the cause."
